Our topic for two Mondays now is simple harmonic motion, which is manifested in the motion of a pendulum and a stretched spring. Like the previous experiments, the steps were not mentioned, only the topic, the materials and the idea to be proven was said. But during this time, the materials that we’re supposed to… Continue reading Pendulum!

Balancing
The concept of torque is best seen on things we usually do, like opening a door, lifting dumbbells and even on playing a yo yo. In all of these things, we are all aware that they can be done the easiest if we put our force far from the point of the rotation of the… Continue reading Balancing
Projectile Mowshen
The second contraption we used in our Physics 101.1 class is the projectile launcher. Like what its name says, it is a device used to launch a metal ball into the air by a pulling a metal bar and releasing it (spring compression). Our main task is design an experiment to prove that the motion… Continue reading Projectile Mowshen
